Honda Racing Factory rearsets

I don;t want to name drop but John McPint and Bruce Anstey used these at the TT this year and the HONDA BSB team are using them this year as always.

The rearsets are hard to get hold of complete or in a usable condition. I found that many riders use a thumb brake which meant that the lever was not available so no use to me.

The whole setup is a mix of alloy and titanium parts and at first looks is basic but is a balance of form and function. For example, this setup came with the bracket for superstock which allows for the standard NISSIN rear master cylinder.

Many people call these HRC Rearsets, well not quite. These are made by Honda Racing in Louth UK and you have to be very lucky to get a new set out of them. They also called HRP (Not to be confused with the fine German Honda Dealership and IDM Team).

Well I doubt I will ever be brave enough to buy a conversion like this but saw these and the think they look amazing. I find that a great deal of headlight conversion often look tacky and dread it when I hear of angel or demon eyes. These however seem tasteful and do seem to suit the lines of the bike.

As a fan of making the CBR1000RR that little bit better, I stumbled across a shock linkage from Lee's Cycles. The Honda CBR1000RR comes with a standard Shock linkage of 175mm. HRC provide these in different lengths (170mm-172mm) to change the handling of the bike. The Lee's cycles link is 170mm long and is based on the HRC version at a fraction of the cost. HRC List 4 different links listed for the blade: 1) 52470-MFL-R10 CONN ROD ASSY., CUSHION R1 (Standard) 2) 52470-NLR-A20 CONN ROD ASSY., CUSHION (MEL) 166.2mm 3) 52470-NLR-A30 CONN ROD ASSY., CUSHION (P2) 178.8mm 4) 52470-NLR-A40 CONN ROD ASSY., CUSHION (P4) 170mm In Brief, MEL is the most aggressive, P4 is less aggressive, P2 is quite flat and the unlisted is offers the characteristics of the P2 but adjusts ride height. The idea in general gives better rear grip on the rear and raises the seat somewhat to transfer some weight to the front of the bike. Besides the obvious advantages to the handling 5mm means less material and a few…
